When I install executorch on windows I run into this error: error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'pip-out\\lib.win-amd64-cpython-312\\executorch\\version.py' This is because we are not enabling symlink in git. Need to run: ``` git config --global core.symlinks true ``` and reclone the repo. This PR fails the installation when that happens. (cherry picked from commit 6e2a46b)
